CAN THE UNIVERSAL CONSUMPTION BE
SUCCESSFULLY TREATED
DIR. Borgeop, a leading French doc
tor, has new treatment for consump-
tion
He gives an enema of carbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the
latter gas carrying the former into
every part of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at
effects--the canse remains undisturbed
What this cause it has been stated
by perhaps the highest pulmonary
authority in the world, 1. 6. the
Brompton Hospital for Consumptives,
in London, Eug.
This malady every year carries off
from one seventh to one-fifth OF the en-
tire population of England
DR.. Payne, M. D., M. r. G. p, Lon
don, is authority for this statement.
The same or greater proportion of
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-half
the total number of deaths from all
other causes have seeds of this disease
in the system which only require some
irritant to develop
DIR. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that consump-
ton is caused by deficient nutrition of
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them.
The uric acid is the irritant in the
blood that causes the development of
the seeds which DR.. Brehmer says lie
dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which pass.
es through the lungs and heart, also
goes through the kidneys, and if they
are in the least deranged they cannot
rid the blood of its killing poison. The
thousand little bair-like sewer tubes OF
the kidneys very easily get blocked up
and diseased and when they do, they
corrupt instead of purifying the blood
Kidney disease may exist, and yet nc
paid occur in that organ, because it is
deficient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day
and it soon testers and is destroyed
Send acid poisoned blood through the
lungs every second, and they soon give
way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that so per cent. of the victims
of consumption were afflicted with de.
ranged kidneys, which permitted the
uric acid poison to remain in the blood
and irritate the lungs. This uric acid
is always fighting every vital organ,
and if there be any inherent weakness
in the lungs it inevitably causes pneu.
monia, cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being so authoritstively shown to be
faulty even though unsupported action
of the kidneys, explains why, in order
to master the dreaded consumption,
one must rid the blood of the uric acid
irritant which infames and burns up
the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great
specific, Warmers safe cure. This
remedy has now the favor of medical
men all over the world purely on lis
merits. We have no doubt that if the
kidneys are kept In natural action, con.
sumption and great many other dis
eases, caused by uric-acid, will not only
be cured but will be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albu-
men appears in the water, but albumen
is found in the water of more than half
of those who die of consumption
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption :
First, weakened kidneys second, re-
tanned uric acid, poisoning the blood
third, the development of diseases In
the lungs by the irritant acids passing
through them. Then there is little
cough in the morning; soon thick yell
low matter is spit up, followed by loss
of flesh and strength, with dreadful
night sweats; and when the patient
goes to his school physician for help,
he is put on cod liver oil which his
stomach, weakened also by uric acid
in the blood cannot digest Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys
the patient does not think they are
affected, but the kidney acid is doing
its work every minute, every hour
day and night, and by-and-by the dis
ease of the lungs has advanced until
pus is developed, then come hemorr-
hages, and at last the CLASSY stare
which denotes that the end Is near
A post-mortem examination of such
cases shows that the terriable uric acid
has completely destroyed the substance
of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease
when the blood is poisoned with uric
acid.
